Pultec MEQ-500 500 Series Equalizer - Jack Douglas Edition

500 series version of the MEQ-5 made with producer/engineer Jack Douglas - includes API 2520 op-amp for makeup gain stage
MFR# MEQ-500 (500 Series Module)

Product Description

The Pultec MEQ-500 500 Series Equalizer - Jack Douglas Edition is a 3-band midrange equalizer. Before bringing their MEQ-5 EQ into the 500 series, Pulse Techniques consulted with famed produced Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick...), as he had cited the MEQ-5 as an essential component to his sound for many years. Per his suggestions, Pultec added frequency centers to overlap with the low-mid section as well as the high-mid. This allows you to fine-tune the mids in your mix resulting in thick, life-like guitar and stunning vocals.

In addition to these enhancements, the MEQ-500 Jack Douglas omits the tube topography for its makeup gain stage, instead employing the legendary API 2520 op-amp. The resulting sound is less colored than the vacuum tube version allowing for a clear and vibrant mix.

Features:

  • 3-band midrange equalizer
  • Produced with creative input from Jack Douglas
  • API 2520 op-amp used for makeup gain stage distinguishing ti from tube version
  • Low noise floor resulting in clear, vibrant sound
  • Perfect for guitars, vocals, winds and other mid-heavy instruments
  • Additional frequency center overlap with low-mid and high-mid sections

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.

I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
